Donald Trump’s lawyers asked a New York judge Friday to suspend an $83.3 million defamation verdict against the former president, saying there was a “strong probability” that it would be reduced on appeal, if not eliminated....
I used Power Delete Suite and you can set it to edit comments to whatever you want before deleting them. I recommend using something innocuous though as some subs have their AutoMod set to reject spammy looking stuff.
I’ve found that it didn’t work very well for an account that had thousands of years old comments though. I haven’t tried to run it again yet since this was just a couple of days ago but it did a good job editing and deleting newer stuff and getting everything on my less verbose accounts.
It was free and didn’t require giving your login credentials to some third party like shreddit and redact, so just depends on what you’re looking for.
The Comstock Act wouldn’t just ban abortion pills; with Republicans in charge they can declare anything “obscene”, effectively banning every thing they don’t like.
Right? In my state, Right to Work was repealed as soon as Democrats had full control of the legislative and executive branches. Republicans passed it while completely disregarding Dems practically screaming that is was union busting and a horrible idea.
For nearly a week, frigid temperatures from Chicago to northern Texas have made life painful for electric-vehicle owners, with reduced driving range and hours of waiting at charging stations....
I live in Ann Arbor, there’s electric cars plugged into chargers all over the city during every season because a lot of people drive EVs here. About the only charging station that never seems full is the Tesla charging station they’re talking about and 6/8 is still not full. 🙄

Inception: the end is real. His totem wasn’t the top like we were led to believe, it’s his wedding ring. He’s only wearing it in dreams and doesn’t have it on when he sees his kids.
Moms for Liberty (M4L), the anti-LGBTQ+ “extremist group” that constantly vilifies LGBTQ+ people for “sexualizing kids,” hired a registered sex offender who allegedly had oral and anal sex with a 14-year-old boy to handle the religious outreach for its Philadelphia chapter....
I get that lots of jokes are to be made about the porn part but what really should be concerning everyone is that the current Speaker of the House pays a third party to snoop on every aspect of his phone.
Was he using his personal phone for any of his duties in Congress?
Is he still using this phone with even more potentially secret government information as a member of the Gang of 8?
This is a MASSIVE security risk, who the fuck knows what information this Covenant Eyes “company” is now privy to.
"But Covenant Eyes and Accountable2You do much more than just police pornography. When WIRED downloaded, decompiled, and tested Covenant Eyes and Accountable2You, we found that both apps are built to collect, monitor, and report all sorts of innocent behavior. The applications exploited Android’s accessibility permissions to monitor almost everything someone does on their phone. While the accessibility functionalities are meant to help developers build out features that assist people with disabilities, these apps take advantage of such permissions to either capture screenshots of everything actively being viewed on the device or detect the name of apps as they’re being used and record every website visited in the device’s browser."
Emphasis mine. This is exactly what I'm talking about. Dude has this software on every one of his devices and now the Christofascists behind Covenant Eyes and any one willing to hack them, ie foreign governments, has screenshots of everything he is viewing. Massive massive security risk.
Should he? Absolutely, his personal phone with this tracking software should never be anywhere near the Capitol.
Dude doesn’t even have a bank account, show everyone the proof that he’s actually using a different, secure phone. Never assume Republicans are doing what’s secure, there is absolutely no proof that they do.

People like you screaming about parental rights always forget that parents who don’t want their children taught theocracy or white supremacy are in the majority.
If you actually believe that your child is being handed books with literal child porn, you ought to be contacting the police and FBI immediately, not posting links to it on the fediverse.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Tuesday he is directing House committees to open an impeachment inquiry into President Biden, amid pressure from some hard-right members of the Republican caucus to do so....
They’re planning on passing a bill that gives impeachment inquiries unlimited funds by taking money away from everything that might actually benefit the American people?
Republicans don’t live in reality, it’s very difficult to follow their “logic”.
The special grand jury in Fulton County investigating the 2020 presidential election in Georgia recommended charges against Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and former GOP Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler of Georgia, according to the special counsel grand jury report released Friday.
The Kids Online Safety Act, aimed at protecting children from harmful online content, has been endorsed by lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, as well as by President Joe Biden.
Allowing insane right wing MAGA states’ Attorneys General to censor whatever content they want should scare the shit out of regular Americans. Does anyone really actually believe that they’ll stop with just transphobia?
Please contact your members of Congress to urge them to drop their support, this bill is straight old people don’t understand how the internet works garbage.
I have seen this exact question so many times in my decade on r/canning before mods could nuke them. It’s kind of astounding how ignorant to food safety some of those posts can be and that was before the great mod purge. I really hope the rest of the community has stepped in to warn others if the mods aren’t doing their job to combat misinformation.
Why aren’t we taxing by weight yet? Trucks have been destroying our roads for years and we still have laughable weight limits. Taxing by weight would also prioritize smaller EVs rather bigger monstrosities that lead to more traffic related deaths.
